Today, several multimedia architectures are available. However, these architectures are typically restricted to run on a certain operating system only. Furthermore, these architectures adopt a PC-centric approach, where all multimedia processing takes place within a single computer. The network is, at best, used for streaming data transmission.

Since there is a strong trend towards networked multimedia devices (like networked cameras, audio devices, PDAs, celluar phones, set-top-boxes, and PCs) these centralized approaches are becoming obsolete. In contrast, the Network-Integrated Multimedia Middleware (NMM) offers a multimedia architecture, which considers the network as an integral part and enables the intelligent use of devices distributed across a network.

NMM is available for Linux, Windows, MacOS, as well as other operating systems. Its unified architecture offers a simple and easy to use interface for applications to integrate multimedia functionality. Therefore, it can be used as enabling technology for locally operating multimedia applications, but more importantly for all kinds of networked and distributed multimedia systems - spanning from embedded and mobile systems, to PCs, to large-scale computing clusters.
